"Why do these city folks have to meddle in our village's affairs?"
The men in the crowd were disgruntled. To them, these people were outsiders. Even though they respected doctors, involving themselves in village matters felt like an infringement on their territory and authority.
The men immediately started clamoring.
"Even though they're doctors, they can't just interfere with our business."
"If things go on like this, everyone will goad our wives to go against us. How are we supposed to live then?"
This was what these men truly thought.
In the village, men were like heaven, men were like gods. In the household, men ate the best. All the chores were done by women. Besides farm work, women also had to take care of the housework and bring up the children.
If today turned into such a commotion, what if their women saw that Bai Na could do it, why couldn't they?
By then, chaos would ensue; this was about safeguarding the men's rights.
